i need to pack for indiana.

i haven't even started.

i tried to do some laundry. i tossed in a bunch of thrift store clothing. took it out. realized the natural cotton shirt now had a decidedly blue tint. cursed my stupidity, tossed the dryable black clothing in the dryer, laid out the non-dryable black clothing, and put the shirt back in the washer with a touch of soap.

i opened the washer when it was done. it had one shirt and many suds. so i ran it through again. i glanced in during the rinse mode this time and saw that there were still suds present. i did NOT throw in a ton of soap. i don't know what's up. maybe this shirt had a load of soap and shit in it already.

anyhow, the rate this is going, i think i'll be packing dirty clothing and doing wash at mom's. i hate doing this. the residue from the detergent and fabric softeners she uses makes my skin itch and bleed.

anyhow, i had a good day. :) met some friends for lunch at the indian buffet (gave them back their daughter, who spent the night at my place), went to see another friend, and then hung around the apt with boy all evening. it was nice. :)

ah, well. i'll go check on that shirt. and then i'll go to bed. packing can wait til morning.
